A Synthesis of Fluency Interventions for Secondary Struggling Readers, written by Jade Wexler, Sharon Vaughn, Meaghan Edmonds, and Colleen Klein Reutebuch (all of MCPER’s Reading Institute), has won the International Reading Association’s 2010 Albert J. Harris Award. The award is given to recent publications that make “an outstanding contribution to our understanding of prevention or assessment of reading or learning disabilities,” according to the International Reading Association Web site. The article, published in Reading and Writing, synthesizes previous research examining the effects of fluency interventions on the fluency and comprehension outcomes of secondary struggling readers.
